The Turkish side, Trabzonspor, is said to be a "tricky" side as they found out that they will be
the opponents of Liverpool in the play-offs. Aston Villa will have to travel to Austria to meet
Rapid Vienna and Manchester City will be facing the Romanian side FC Timisoara.

Scottish sides Celtic, Dundee United and Motherwell will take on Utrecht, AEK Athens and Odense
respectively whereas CSKA Sofia will face the Welsh side The New Saints.

Liverpool have had a mixed month of football prior to their Europa League Round of 16 match against
French Ligue 1 side Lille. In between beating Unirea Urziceni, Liverpool have displayed their best

performances.

Were Liverpool showing their true potential or was it just a flash in the pan? Unirea Urziceni were

Liverpool FC came from behind to beat FC Unirea Urziceni 3-1 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate to
book a place in the UEFA Europa League round of 16.

Though Rafael BenÃ­tez's charges did ultimately ensure the natural order, they did so the hard way.
The first-leg advantage handed to them by David Ngog's late strike at Anfield was quickly wiped out
by Bruno Fernandes, but Javier Mascherano's first goal of the season restored parity in Romania.

Liverpool have been drawn against Guus Hiddink's mega-rich Anzhi Makhachkala in the Europa
League group stage.

The Russians, who have former Inter Milan and Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o in their ranks, are
the fourth seeds in a tough Group A which also includes Serie A side Udinese and Young Boys from
Switzerland.

The Third Qualifying Round of both UEFA European club tournaments were drawn in Nyon,
Switzerland, today. Firstly came the draw for the UEFA Champions League which was split between two

The defeat against Arsenal a few days ago was a game of great debate! Talk of poor tactics, poor
lineups and no chances, filled the newspapers and LFC forums around the world. Another hot topic
was that of Ryan Babel. For a change it was not about his tweets or twitterings, but about how he
should [.

The Super Cup matches of Romania and Croatia were decided this weekend. In the former CFR Cluj
kept up their domestic dominance by securing the third of a possible treble but only after winning
in a penalty shoot-out. In Croatia old rivals from Zagreb and Split were involved in the fight to
win the traditional curtain-raiser to the season.

Not a season of great collective achievement, but some brilliant moments.

In a year when the goals ultimately added to nothing, it's tough to get rallied around the idea
that there were still moments worth celebrating. But looking back at some of the goals scored, I
can't help but awe at the skill involved and the joy these moments provided.

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez knows his side have to find an immediate cure for their travel
sickness if dreams of Champions League qualification are to be realised.

The Reds have the worst away record of any of the top nine clubs in the Barclays Premier League,
having not won on an opponent's ground in six matches and taken just 14 points from 16 games on the

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez became embroiled in a bizarre pre-match press conference when
Romanian journalists appeared to berate the Spaniard over his weight, according to a report in the

suggests away goals are not as important as they once were in European competition â€“ teams are
more capable of scoring on the road.

Tournament Betting Europa League favourites with Liverpool managed to shut out their opponents last
week, beating Unirea Urziceni 1-0 at Anfield.

Oguchi Onyewu took to the practice field Thursday and trainedÂ for the first time since being
sidelined with a ruptured patellar tendon in the U.S. men's national team's World Cup qualifier vs.
Costa Rica last October.

The Rest

As someone who's retained patience with the current regime at the club, that's a question I've
been asked plenty of times over the past couple of months about whether it's time for our manager
to be shown the door. I'm sure I'm far from being the only one.
